I have an Ant script that needs to checkout a directory from Subversion. This works using svnant/svnkit. However, Subversion access is authenticated, and I do not want to store my user password in a file.
Can I make svnkit pop up a password dialog?
Or even better, make it use the same credential caching that subversive/svnkit inside of Eclipse uses (the username can be read from the build.properties)?
I cannot switch to public key based authentication, as I do not control the subversion server.
Right now, it just says "svn: authentication cancelled".

An analog to this answer:
This will make it so that the person's username is not displayed. This requires Ant 1.7.1 or greater.
